Memoirs of Akbar Hashemi – July 27, 1988

Mr. Sanjaghi woke me up on the phone and said: "Our forces are in the three way east of Islamabad and on the western side they have returned to where they were yesterday and they had advanced a little during the night." It turns out that the hypocrites have brought in new forces. They have brought a large force into Iran for this action, and their prisoners said that they planned to come from the Sanandaj axis and move towards Tehran from two axes. It is a very stupid decision. They must have made such a mistake relying on ignorant analyzes and incomplete information, and here is a good opportunity to destroy them and reduce their harm. The Air Force and the Air Force were told to use their full power in destroying them today.

In the news of American and English radio, great sensitivity was shown regarding my statement regarding the condition of releasing our property in America as a reason of American goodwill before negotiating or helping us to release American hostages, and it seems that the process of peace and ending the war in the United Nations has reached a serious stage; The global attitude towards us is good.

Mr. Shamkhani informed that one of the hypocrites in desperation drove himself into the embankment with his normal car, which was destroyed, and a map of his car was obtained, which shows that the plan of the hypocrites was to go to Bakhthran, Hamedan, Takestan and Tehran in four stages, which is a sign of their stupidity and pride. Our own Mahdi went and visited the line and came back and said that he had seen that map of Vakalek there.

Mr. [Hamid] Tagvi, the deputy of IRGC ground force intelligence protection, came and brought the documents related to the complete operational military identification from Bakhtran to Qazvin and the relevant documents; These documents show that they have prepared themselves for the military crossing of this route. But there is no reason for it to be at the same time and in the continuation of the same operation, unless it was in the hands of the operators. It seems to me that the military officials magnify this issue more than it is and give a high price to possibilities; Maybe they are right from a military point of view.

Mr. [Mansour [Satari] Air Force Commander] says the pilots do not see a lot of enemy force in the mission area; It is quieter than today. They are either gone or destroyed or camouflaged.

Ahmad Agha consulted the pilots to encourage the Imam; I agreed. I sent Mr. Sanjaghi and Mehdi to the front line to bring correct news. Fallahian and Razini came in the evening. The wartime court and special inspection and current affairs of the war were discussed. Recently, the imam gave a strong order to Mr. Razini to set up a court and try the culprits in the war, but there will be problems in the implementation.

Mr. Sanjaghi and Mehdi returned and said that the forces are ready to attack the positions of the hypocrites on the Bakhtran-Islamabad road tonight. It seems that prolonging their resistance in the region is not good; You have to push.
